a New Coach Line.

It is understood thai Marks s. Co. pro
pretors Of tie Helena, White Sulphur
Springs and Neillal.t stage line, will con-
tinue their line from Neihart to this place
as soon as the Belt creek road is complet-
ed. They viii establish stations only ten
miles apart on this end Of the route. ana
will make the trip between Neihart aud
this place, and g5ce eersG between daylight
and dark. We cannot see why such an
enterprise would not prove profitable.
Neihart is attracting considerable atten-
tion and large number of people will un-
doubfedly visit the camp the coming sea
son. Great Falls by its position is the
natural outftting point for it, even at the
present time, and the advent of the rail
roads in a few months, will make it also
the supply point, and then a line of daily
coaches will be absolutely necessary. Dur
ing the short interval between the time the
road will be completed and the advent of
the railroads, coach line will not have
more than time to. become thoroughly
established and everything ru.lnine
smoothly

The Belt Road.

Work on the road down Belt creek is
progressing favorably. The committees
appointed by the citizens of Neihart are
experimenting the work. The laborers
are divided into squads who are. engaged
at different points cutting the grades,
building abutments for bridges and cutting
bridge timber. From what we learned of
the details as presented to the board of
commissioners, we are not favorably im-
pressed with the plans of bridges. They
will not last many years, and are not as
strong as they should be for irst-class
road; yet, of course they will answer the
present demand. The bridges are to be
of single spans 30 to 40 feet long. Round
logs are to be used for stringers and the
floors are to be made of hewed poles.-

smoothly.

A land contest case, prosecuted by the
general government, has attracted consid-
cradle interest in town this week. In
March 1884, Michael Cooper, filed a pre-
emption claim on piece of land in Sand
Cou1ee and the following fall proved up
upon the same and sold it to James G..
Anthony. Last fall, during Special Agent
Gums visit to this place, the case was re-
ported to him. and he held the entry sub
ieet to cancellation, and the 18th inst. was
the day set to take testimony in relation
thereto. Special Agent Gum appeared
for the government and Geo. w. Taylor
for the claimant. Those who frequented
the court room during the case, say there
was extremely tall swearing done.
Yesterday a similar case was being tried.
The pre-emption claim of W. FL. Humph-
rey being held for cancellation.
This is but the beginning of a series of
contest cases which will be the outgroWth
of this affair. Some bad blood has been

ne Cree Refugees.

Scout Roensch, who has tempo r1ry
charge of the Cree refugees, camped on
the north fork of Sun river, over whom
such hubbub was raised last winter, says
they are the most motley and revolving
gang he ever run across. The war depart
ment is now issuing sufficient rations 10
keep them alive, and will likely escort
them over the line into Queen Vic's do
main, from whence they came, in a few
weeks. Mr.. Roensch says the chief, who e
name is Little Troubled Man, is a cute
one, and will not move peg unless abso-
lutely forced to do so.

A Pointer.

The man who places ten dollar notice
in his local paper and fatters himself that
he is a liberal advertiser will be surprised
to learn that a yearly advertisement, one
column in length in the Chicago Tribune
cost the advertiser $4,000. The New
York Herald receives for It's lowest priced
column $4,000 and for its highest s4s,-
900; the New Y erik Tribune for it's lowest
$2s,753; and those papers, it is stated, are
never at less for advertising TO Ill tel,
columns. The fact is that careful, liberal
advertising pays. Nothing better illus
trates this great truth than the rush now

Big immigration.

A dispatch of the 18th from Queens
town says: Arrivals here of emigrants on
their way to the United States are at pres
ent enormous. Railways are running
special trains to accommodate this class of
travel. The number Of emigrants now
awaiting steamers to carry them to their

here for some man. with a little capital

FORT BENTON, Mont, April 20, 1887.
Editor Of the Great Fa7ls Tribune:
| DEAR STR:-I noticed an article in the
TRIBUNE of the 10th inst, relative to the
present condition and possibility of the
Missouri river from the mouth of the
| Marias to Fort Benton. | happened later
to notice with exceeding delight and OF
| somewhat q surprise, bitter and sarcastic
| denial by the l1sger Press of the facts out
lined in the TRIBUNE article; now as mat
ter OF strict justice, and a vind1cation OF
tna truth and varacity which the TRIBUNE
does and has enjoyed in this territory and
abroad-wherever it has made itself &C
quainted, | wish to state through your
medium, if space will be granted, that
your article was correct in every detail,
which can be verified by a visit over the
ground in question. had an opportunity
yesterday OF passing by the era con bu nez
bar, and could sec for myself that there
was not water enough running over the
bar to float a skif nicely without touching
bottom; under these circumstances if Fort
Benton is the head of navigation / propose
to start boat line from Fort Benton to
| Great Falls, as feel assured that steam
boat can navigate the falls of the Missouri
river with as much ease as from Fort Ben
ton to and over the era con du nez bar. It
is the grandest hoax ever practiced on an
innocent, uninformed, inoffensive public,
to say Fort Benton is the head Of nasiga-
ton on the Missouri river. The mouth Of
the Marias is tie head OF navigation, as
e-ery 3.sss..infnenaetl, fair miad will admit.
here q very prosperous town is going to
spring up in the near future which will
quickly assume proportions that is apt to
weaken the hide of Benton's best which
has been stuffed and stufflng wind for the
last decade.
By the way Griffith and party are
now engaged in running line down
Eight Mile Spring coulee, crossing the
Teton near W. s. Stockings ranch. From
this point he is running line to Assina-
boine, leaving the Missouri altogether.
This is most probably going to be the
easiest line that has yet been run, as the
country from the Teton crossing is mostly
a prairie Mr.. Barclay is crossing this
way from Assinaboine, AMI it will not be
great while before he VIII meet Griffith;
when, in a short time this line will likely be
adopted, and in a few months che country
all along the line will present a busy spec
tacle. A little later still the iron horse
will be speeding along gracefully to Great
Falls, while the Benton P. line Of boats,
will be wearing out their bottoms sliding
ever sand bars twelve miles from r. r. |
trying to get to the so called head OF nav
igation.
